AME duplicate approver question

Hi all,
I am working on iprocurement module in Oracle R12 and using AME for PR approval process.
May I know for the following two approval situations (Assume all approvers are in the same approval category):
1. A->B->C->B, can I just keep the last occurrence of approver B and make the approval matrix become A->C->B? Seems the configuration variable "repeatedApprovers" will make the matrix become A->B->C
2. Only remove the duplicate approver in the next step. ie. A->B->B->C will become A->B->C, but A->B->C->B will remain unchange.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alpesh and all
I would like to follow up with your answer to Keith's question below.
1. When requestor select roles which belong different approvers how does the request gets processed
example roles selected are Z_XYZ who's role approver is Tom and second role Z_ABC with role approver John , how is this request handled ? Both the role owner would get email and can approve the request at same time. Unless untill both these approvers approve/reject the request, request can not move to next stage.
My question,
Is there a way to allow users to submit one request with 2 roles with different approvers, if the 1st approver approved the role,  the 1st role to be provisioned to immediately without having to wait for the 2nd approver to approve the 2nd role?
The two roles both satisfy the critiria of the same initiator (attribute Role, and both roles are in the role list).  Since the roles fall under the same path and stage (only 1 role owern approval stage), I noticed the 1st approved role was not provisioned until the 2nd role is approved.     Is there a way to work arond that?   It make sense to go ahead provision the 1st role without having to waiting for the 2nd role to be approved or rejected.   The roles have the same approval requirement so they should use the same initiator and workflow path.    
If you or anybody knows the work around, I would appreciate your sharing the info.
Thanks.
p.s.
I did a test to submit a request with 2 roles, each role satisfy a different workflow initiator therefore different paths are used.   1st role was approved through 1st path and provisioned immediately  while 2nd role was waiting in approval stage in the 2nd path.   The request is closed once both path were completed.

  • Silly Podcast approval question

    Ok this might be a silly question but when I submit a Podcast to my Podcast Producer server and choose to submit for approval it does the work and an email is sent to me telling me that it has been submitted for approval and the path to the files. That's all good so far - My question -
    What am I supposed to do to approve or reject the podcast??????
    Thanks in advance
    Gary Finch

    It's a completely manual process right now. You'd have to take the stored recording and resubmit it through Podcast Capture (or some other means) if it's approved, or do nothing if it's not!

  • Duplicate document question

    Hello community,
    I have a short and simple question:
    When I create a Sales document (for example Sales Order) and I duplicate this document after I've added it to the system, why does the new Sales Order does not include user-specific changes to item descriptions, etc.) when I change the BP and click "Yes"? Why does this change not only affect the BP Master Data information but also the item information?
    Hope my question is understood.
    Best Regards,
    Holger

    Hello Holger,
    The Duplicate function will duplicate all the information from the Source Sales Order other than any information that are linked to the BP.  Any row level UDF will retain their values.
    Some of the things that change are..
    Payment Terms, Sales Rep, Special Pricing if any for Items, BP Project, etc
    The Row level UDF's are not linked to the BP and therefore will not get refreshed unless you have formatted searches on them.

  • Guided Procedure Visual Approval Question

    Hi,
    I'm developing an action that call a Visual Approval user interface.
    I have 3 questions:
    1) When I click in Approve or Reject button the action is completed and this message is displayed:
    (information icon)Action has been completed
    I want to display a screen like a summary screen with the information about each step. It's possible with standard templates like Visual Approval?
    2) If I click in Reject button, where I know that these action was repproved?
    3) Can I get the buttons (Approve or Reject) value in another screen (like grouping parameters)?
    Thanks,

    Hi Manoel,
    1.After the visual approval CO is executed the screen will be only as you specified, it is predifined and you cannot change it.If you want to display some summary you got to create another CO and add it in the same block and the result state of the Visual approval should be assigned to the new CO for display.
    2 . Upon clicking the reject button the control will flow to the action specified in the result state of the reject button.
    3. Instead on using a Visual approval if you use a webdynpro CO this is possible. While setting the result state you can set the value as the out put of the co and do parameter mapping to get it in the next CO.
    Let us know the result....

  • Recording HDV 25p, CS4 AME to Flash question?

    Hi,
    I am recording HDV 25p, CS4 AME to Flash. It will be a two minute talking head thing with three questions.
    It will be presented on a website.
    How do I get to 'mark' the beginning of the three questions so the viewer can jump to these questions in the two minute sequence?
    Do I mark them in the timeline somehow?
    Can anyone point to a tutorial?
    Thanks in advance
    scott

    On your Z7, have you set the Date Rec option in the Others menu to ON? The default is OFF. That is how I do it on my Z5 which is very similar to the Z7.
    EDIT: Ooops. Sorry. I see you are looking for time code, not time and date stamp.

  • Duplicate Frames question

    I've noticed that even when activated, the duplicate frames feature does not always show when I've placed the same shots in the timeline more than once. In reviewing old posts, I see that you need to give the clip a reel # and maintain it's original timecode in order for the duplicate feature to work.
    My question is....what about exports of sequences you make in FCP as quicktimes?
    I would have thought that if I export a timeline as a quicktime, then bring it back into FCP and use
    it as a source clip, THEN it would be able to tell when I was duplicating frames from it's own exported quicktime, but that doesn't seem to work.
    Are there some special characteristics or settings you need to export out as in order to make the
    duplicate frames feature work, or is it only possible with raw video captured via a timecode source?
    Thanks for any input.

    Exporting a file and expecting it to show as duplicate frames will never work.
    FCP and the Finder see it as a entirely different file, even if it has the exact same content and name as something in your project.
    The file's "Diplayed Name" that you see in Finder and FCP is not the same as the "Unique file ID" assigned by the Finders directory management system.
    For instance, if you call your file "My Movie Clip 03", the directory assigns something else, along the lines of "6FDD6793355D848D" for it's own internal use. If you export "My Movie Clip 03" it will have a different unique ID.
    While this may appear to present a problem for you in finding your duplicate frames, it also allows two or more files or folders to have the same name, so long as they occupy different sub-directories. Project folder A and project folder B can both contain a sub folder named "DVD Assets" for example.
    You actually provided the answer to your own question:
    "I see that you need to give the clip a reel # and maintain it's original timecode in order for the duplicate feature to work."

  • Credit/Loan Approval Questions

    Need some help on what to do to with my credit to get best interest rate. So my current scores showing in MyFico are 603, 612 and 615. Fico Auto 8 score is 629. This past weekend I was at a dealership and they pulled my credit giving me a 583? Why would there be a difference?  Here's the situation.Have about 4,800 left on a car payment that has about 16 months left, interest rate was around 1.9% This is my oldest account- opened in 2011. I just read that you should keep your oldest account opened. I have about 4,700 in credit cards with the limits totalling 5,500 - I know this is high utilziation. I will have access to 5k in cash in about a month. I cannot decide what would be the best route. Should I pay off my car or pay off credit cards? Which would look better?I am leaning toward credit cards. I had a collection account that I just paid off this past month that was about $700 which is still showing as not paid - it should be updated soon - but I'm sure that will get me declined until that is updated as paid. Current payment is $310 My current income is about 2,600 per month. I don't have rent or mortage payment. I am wanting to finance for about 38-40k Would it be better to take that 5k and put as a down payment? Or maybe even pay enough to get credit cards under 30%? I also have a student loan that is in defferenment until 2018 - will this be taken into consideration to be approved? If so how do they factor this in? I have a co-signer with about 2,600 per month also if needed. What would give me the best credit profile to be approved with the best rate?To add - I want a Jeep Wrangler - does anyone know how hard or what kind of score you need to get good financing?

    I typed the income part wrong it's about 70k combined (minimum as it can be more as my other half frequently works overtime but I've heard they only count your base income?) 1.9 would be nice but I'm not expecting to get 1.9% as circumstances were different when I got that, I think under 5 % would be do able. I was simply asking does it matter to the banks of you already have a car payment when you try to get one? And what would be the best solution. I've read you won't be approved with multiple auto loans but I've also read you shouldn't pay off or close your longest open account which is what my car loan would be. So I guess Paying off credit cards (12% rates) would be the best. I am hoping to get lower than 38-40k but I just put that out there as a max. What about the collection accounts that have been paid - will that be an automatic decline? I just checked and that account has been updated showing a zero balance but it says agreed to pay for less than full amount, this is incorrect as the original amount was wrong and I paid the correct amount we agreed to. Should I dispute this, how will that look to banks?My wife and I actually just bought her a brand new Jeep Wrangler last month so I'll give you our experience. Our combined incoming is currently around 74k. We did file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy last year so our situation may be a little different. We had trouble getting approved because neither one of us had experience with car loan above 20k. Our scores were in the 640s/650s. Under 10% credit card utilization. We ended up having to have her dad co-sign on the loan with her through Ally Financial for 37k, 1k down at 6.9%. And he has a mid-700 score 150k income. We're hoping to refinance with Navy Fed ASAP.  Absolutely pay the credit cards down. To boost your score, one card should be reporting less than 10% balance, and the others zero. This will give you your best chance. And the reporting is correct if you did settle for anything less than the full amount owed. 

  • Approval question

    Hello, i have SRM ECS which uses BADI n steps. I want to know that if i my approver can add another approver in my circuit. i.e
    1)i have created my SC.
    2) Approver 1 approves the SC.
    3) Approver 2 adds another approver( say approver 3).
    Is it possible.Thx.

    Hi Antish,
    This is possible. You can control it with the definition BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW.
    Go to Tx. SE19 and create your implementation.
    Use the method AUTHORISE_FOR_INSERT.

  • Parallel approval question of the workflow process.

    Hello Expert,
    I have the following business process scenario which will be realized by new BPMN. My qusestion is how to do with it on BPMN?
    I have one human activity in one step. The condition to pass this step is that all the potential owners of this step should approve, if one rejects this step, then workflow terminates.  Is there anyway to reach the solution, i mean the task is sent to the approvers parallelly and i want to get all of their response?
    Any help will be appreciated..
    /BR
    Erick

    Hi Erick,
    a few words of warning though:
    If the end condition for the recursion is not modeled correctly and the process runs into an endless recursion you can easily break the system with this! Since the NetWeaver BPM is trying to pick up where it left off, such a situation can not easily recorvered from, even by restarting the server!
    Recursive subprocess calls consume quite a bit of resources, so it is not recommended to do this with many nesting levels. Start out with only a few and look in the SAP MMC how the Java memory behaves. But I guess for a (hopefully short) list of approvers this approach should be ok.
    Modeling this correctly can be a bit tricky. From my experience you should especially mind two important points:
    Make sure you synchronize concurrent executions paths (creates with a parallel split gateway) at the end with a matching join gateway.
    Do not put the end condition for the recursion in the correlation condition of the start event of the subflow: this will cause the subflow to never start and hence never return to the calling process. The result will be that the main process never terminates. Use an explicitely modeled exclusive choice gateway for this.
    Best regards,
    Oliver

  • Mail duplicates, storage question

    I was in the middle of setting up a new Mail 5.2 backup plan and noticed something odd. I'm using 10.7.3.
    I thought Mail since Lion stored mail here: ~/Library/Mail/V2. Sure enough, I have directories there. But they are almost all dated July '11, which I was when I upgraded to Lion. An exception is an account I created recently.
    If I go to what I thought was supposed to be the old, no-longer-used directory—~/Library/Mail—there sits my email, with updated files which I presume are new emails.
    This, unfortunately, leaves me with lots of duplicates. I don't see them in Mail, of course, but they take up space and I fear could lead to problems down the line. I don't see any way to direct Mail to use the /Mail directory as opposed to  the /Mail/V2 directory.
    So: can I just delete the old email directories? I realize there are also other directories with other data, but in /Mail/V2 they also seem outdated and haven't been modified recently. Same with my MailTags info and plists; they are old in the /V2 folder. I can afford to just import or trash the new account that's in there; it's IMAP with few messages. And I have good backups.
    And if I do eliminate the V2 folders, do I have recreate a V2 folder with my current mailboxes in it? or can I leave it alone?
    Rob

    as an update, it does! I've since deleted the accounts but it still looks like there is some stored somewhere on my MBA as the memory is lower than before I started.
    Any thoughts? Thank you!

  • "Don't import duplicates" and question about the Last Import folder

    *THE CLIP IMPORTING (TO IMOVIE) PROCESS*
    Ever since the last time I uploaded clips and made movies with them, I have shot new footage. I never erased the clips that were in the Sanyo VPC-HD2000A.
    This morning I uploaded the clips to my iMovie '11, including image stabilization. (Bypassed iPhoto '11 completely, on purpose.)
    What caused me concern while the clips were uploading is that there were no prompts about +"only new clips, no duplicates"+ to be imported. There was one set of options saying "Importing checked, or Import checked," but the problem was that I saw nowhere that any of the clips in the box (I will call it the Sanyo Box) could be checked. Selected, yes, but checked, no. I tried to select all of the newly shot footage, but that was impossible. It was only possible to select one clip at a time.
    I did not interrupt the file transfer because I did so once last month and it caused me problems.
    I ended up with 36 files uploaded and imported.
    *THE EVENT LIBRARY LAST IMPORT FOLDER*
    _In the iMovie '11 Events Library, the Last Import folder contains clips that were uploaded last month to iMovie. If I am to understand the label, "Last Import" does not mean, "And also stuff from a previous import."_
    I realize that having duplicates of clips can be solved by deleting clips, but I really want to know what is going on and also what ought to be going on. Shouldn't the Last Import folder contain only those clips that are in the most recent upload?
    And why was there no prompt for all duplicates to be disregarded and not imported?
    Did I possibly bollix up the preferences in my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A and did I accidentally tell it not to ask whether or not I want to import duplicates?
    I can see that someone could say, "Make sure you delete all old clips before you shoot new footage," but that is an "of course." I need to know what happens when you keep clips in the camera and want to import only the new clips.
    -L

    No.
    In LR3 it would ALWAYS pick up the duplicates if I inserted a card I'd just imported.
    With no change to my workflow I'm now having instances of the same files being imported multiple times.
